Breast Feeding Every 3 hours ?

Question

I have a question. So I’ve been breast feeding my baby ever since he was born. And let’s say I breast feed him every three hours. So what if I fed him at 3 but he doesn’t fall asleep until 4:30 so he only sleep for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Do I wake him up at 3 to eat or let him sleep until he wakes up to eat ?

Answer

Once a baby is back up to birth weight you no longer need to wake them to eat!

Answer

I thought the not waking him if he’s back to his birth weight rule only applied for the night time. I would continue to wake him in the daytime anyway or you rush him sleeping and not eating enough during the day and then having him up and eating a ton during the night.

Answer

I never have woken up my child to eat I just feed him when he’s hungry sooooo I’d just let him sleep🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Unless he's still below birth weight, isn't doing enough wet/dirty diapers, or has low blood sugar or jaundice you don't need to wake him. My son had low blood sugar and jaundice so I had to wake him for a long time (until he was about 8 weeks old) because he wouldn't wake for a feed himself.
